WILTON — A Ridgefield man is facing drunken driving charges after he was observed weaving in and out of his lane, police said.

Police said Erick Molina Trigueros, 21, of Ridgefield, was seen driving erratically while headed north on Danbury Road around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.

As a patrol unit began to trail Trigueros, police said he pulled into the entrance of Splash Car Wash, 382 Danbury Road, before pulling around the back of the building and putting his hazard lights on.

When police made contact with the driver, they determined he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Trigueros eventually failed a field sobriety test and later tested positive for alcohol with a blood alcohol content of .1845, more than double the legal limit.

Trigueros was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, operating a vehicle with a license and failure to drive right. He was released on a $260 bond, and was given a court date of March 13.
